    Hi Johannes,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Are you trying to prepopulate your form using URL parameters? Can you send us the form link with the URL parameters so we can check? Also, please tell us the fields you want to prepopulate so we can check if the URL parameters are correct.

    Hi Johannes,

    To prepopulate the name, the format should be:

    ?UniqueName[first]=FirstName&UniqueName[last]=LastName

    In your form, if you'd like to prepopulate the name field with John Smith and email address is john@example.com, the URL parameter should be:

    https://www.jotform.com/240733074954358?contactPerson[first]=John&contactPerson[last]=Smith&email=john@example.com

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
